Timeline Makers
Note: There was a timeline maker listed here called Dipity that no longer exists. Dipity is now a porn site, as I discovered when I used the link. Always check links for websites before allowing students to use them.
Timeline http://www.readwritethink.org/files/resources/interactives/timeline_2/
This application allows students to create their own timelines that can be printed out if needed. The timeline can be organized based on events, times, or dates. It can be used for a variety of purposes. Students can make a timeline based on historical events during a war, or they can make a timeline of their daily routine to use as an organizer prior to writing a short story describing their typical day. This timeline is very easy to use and even allows students to include pictures for the events. Students click anywhere on the timeline and write the date or time. Then they write a brief description of the event. If desired, students can write a longer description as well, but the long description will only be shown when printed out. Students can then preview their timeline, send it electronically to the teacher, or they can print it out. Overall, it is a very easy tool for students to create timeline. Free
Tiki-toki (http://www.tiki-toki.com/)
This website helps you create timelines in a fun and different fashion. It allows you to print off a list of the dates of what you have added in chronological order. It is easy to create these timelines and you can make them through a step-by-step process. Personally, I believe this tool is a good use for the students to see a timeline of history of something that you are learning in class. Free account is for making only one timeline. Teacher/student account is $125/year.
Predecen (formerly timeglider) (https://www.preceden.com/)
Preceden is an online application that can be very useful in order to assess student understanding of current events in areas such as history, or even for a creative autobiography cultural assignment. Using Students can choose a span of time and insert title events and descriptions, showing a physical, visual representation of a specific time period. The final product will be in a timeline format. This can be especially useful for individual or group projects and presentations since the application’s product is visual but also very informational and be useful to be displayed in a classroom. Upper elementary school students might benefit from this application because it requires that students apply what they learn. Free (I think)
myHistro (http://www.myhistro.com/)
This website allows students or teachers to create their own timelines that incorporate maps, photos, videos, etc. and can be created individually or collaboratively, and shared online. I think this could be useful in projects for students, or for teachers to create timelines that introduce/teach about topics that occur over a time period stretching across hours, years, decades, or centuries using a visual and interactive.
Timetoast (https://www.timetoast.com/)
This is a website where users can easily make timelines. This is an interactive way students can learn when events are during the year or through the course of history. I would more likely use this for older students because it may be more appropriate for them. This website is simple enough for younger students to use too.
